๐ป๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐ป๐๐๐๐๐ on Play Therapy: Part 2
From the looks of my inbox and social media DMs, my first post about our play therapy journey resonated with many of you - some who have traveled this road and others who are exploring this option for their little ones.ย I am by no means a therapist - not even close - but I am a mom of a sensory challenged child who's learning the ropes right along side my kidย with the help of therapists. So I'm picking up where I left off in this first post about how we moved forward from an awkward break up with therapist...
๐๐ก๐๐ฌ๐ ๐ ๐๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฌ on Child Therapy: Part One
First and foremost, I'm not a therapist! Not even close. But I am a momย of a child that has really BIG feelings, lots of emotions and some sensory challengesย which have taken us on a journey through play therapy and now occupational therapy.ย As women, we don't talk about these things.

The Ending of an ๐ธ๐๐-a
I recently made the tough decision to end my monthly earring subscription, The Earring Envelope.ย It had a good run, you guys! THREE FULL YEARS of providing statement earrings to your door! For some of you, that's like a million pairs of earrings. (Ok, actually closer to 36, but ๐๐๐๐๐ don't you guys have enough by now?!? ๐คฃ) Some of you may be wondering "But ๐ฌ๐๐ฎ??๐ฉ" while others are probably a-๐ with this decision. And the truth is, it's still a successful revenue stream for my business. So why, then, did I come to this decision? Welp, here are several...
